Rumors about KFC's strange chicken with six wings and eight legs have been circulating for a long time, covering almost all kinds of media forms, from early emails and BBS to Weibo two years ago, and now to WeChat.
In this regard, Qu, president of KFC, said that the strange chicken's remarks were sheer nonsense and were rated as eight outrageous events by the media as early as 2008.
"Now the biotechnology is far from developing to the point where chickens can grow six wings and eight legs. If there is such a chicken, KFC can definitely apply for the Nobel Prize in Biology. " In Qu's view, it is this rumor that reflects the superb PS picture skills of the parties.
Extended data:
Regarding the rumor that every chicken in McDonald's KFC Chicken Factory has four wings, Zhang Hongfu, a researcher at the Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and executive deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Animal Nutrition, said that at present, no hormones have been found in broiler breeding at home or abroad.
First of all, hormones are expensive, and the technical requirements for adding and using hormones are complicated. Adding and using hormones is an illegal means that China and even the world explicitly prohibit.
Article 4 1 of the Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs in People's Republic of China (PRC) promulgated by the Ministry of Agriculture clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to add hormone drugs to feed and animal drinking water.
Secondly, studies at home and abroad also show that adding hormones does not promote the growth of chickens, but also increases the risk of heart disease, ascites and other diseases in broilers.
Li Jinxiang, inspector of the Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture, once said that if hormones are added to promote growth, the mortality rate of chickens will increase, and the high mortality rate is unbearable for any chicken farm. Therefore, it is unrealistic for KFC and McDonald's to promote the rapid growth of broilers with hormones.
